Coral supplies

[Kenny_Graham]

So far everyone have been extremely helpful. As before you know I'm bad at keeping a good reef system. I'm starting a new "24 GALLON NANO" using my old reef water, live rock, fish etc. It has to be in the chemicals I've been told several different large reef shops. Now will see how good you really are. Here's what I'm using:

KENT STRONTIUM & MOLYBVENUM
" CHROMAPLIX
" ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
" CORAL VITE
" PHYTOPLEX
" MICRO VERT
" TECH 1
" TECH M
" LIQUID CALCIUM
" PRO BUFFER DKH
" CALKWASSER
" CORALIFE STRONTIUMPLUS
PHOS ZORB
REEF PURE GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON
LTC MARINE MARINE S.A.T.
SEACHEM DI NITRATE
" MARINE BUFFER
" REEF BUILDER
" PRIME SALTWATER

What can I stop using if this is my problem?????

PHOS ZORB- find the sorce and fix it
SEACHEM DI NITRATE- if I rember right this absorbs nitrates so ditch it and do more water changes
REEF PURE GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON-stop running or rinse and change very often

that should help for starters

be sure not to add them all in the same day. this could cause a shock reaction to your animals. it would be like adding 15 spoons of sugar to coffee you are already drinking, only you didn't know it was being added. that would shock you right ?? i add 3 chems on wednsday and 3 on saturday, every week, faithfully. one thing i use that is not on your list is IODINE, iodine is absorbed rapidly by corals and I THINK should be replaced for a healthy system.

So Kenny, let me ask a question. Are you testing the levels of everything your dosing? Many of the things listed are fine at low or normal levels but high levels can be careful to the tank. A rule that I have heard many times that I try an live by is " Never dose anything you are not testing for." My recommendation would be to skip adding all the chemicals and just go a water change on a consistent basis. A good salt will have all of the items listed in the correct propotions plus help with the over all health of the tank, IMO.
